So you might have a PDF just like the one I've got here and you want to convert it into words so that you can edit it and potentially make changes that you want safe back to a PDF and you can take the information from here and put it into words and there are various degrees of how well that can work now this is in Windows but you might want to do this in a Mac and if you're using a Mac I do have a different tutorial however a lot of what I'm gonna do here applies to a Mac as well so here's my PDF it's open an adobe reader which is free and available on the Adobe comm website and we'll take a look at that in just a moment so there's a few ways that I could actually get that information into word one of them is I could go up into tools just over here and you'll see it comes up with export PDF at the top if that's not visible like that just click on that little triangle there and it will expand it out you want to convert it to word and you could just choose to put it into rich text which is got less of the formatting that you would have in Word or into Excel or into an older version of word the problem is really hit convert you've got to sign up you've got to pay.
For this service and that's with Adobe the people who actually create a PDFs in the first place but I've got a little trick for doing that if you've just got a kind of one-off and you don't want to pay for anything so I'm just gonna close that up and by the way that does work very well so the other options I've got is here is my logo at the top here so I've got an image in here so I could just click on it you see it selected it I could now right-click choose copy image I'm just gonna open up word and here I've got a blank document and I could just click on paste here and you can copy and paste however you like it if you're used to using shortcut keys you could use those too so I'm just going to go back to my PDF because now I want to get this text so I can do that by just simply highlighting it so I now could go into edit and choose copy I could have right clicked and chosen com the other thing I could have done is if I've got a lot of texture I could have gone into edits done select all who selects all of my text and again just copied however I wanted to do it but they go to word I'm now going to just go down a few lines I'm now just going to hit.
